New Claude Code release is out and it’s packed with quality-of-life improvements.
Highlights:
Hot-reload for skills – Skills in <code>~/.claude/skills</code> or <code>.claude/skills</code> now update instantly without restarting your session.
Terminal improvements – Shift+Enter works out of the box in iTerm2, WezTerm, Ghostty, and Kitty. Plus new Vim motions including text objects, yank/paste, and indent operators.
Smarter permissions – Wildcard pattern matching for Bash commands (<code>Bash(npm *)</code>, <code>Bash(* install)</code>) reduces permission fatigue.
Unified backgrounding – Ctrl+B now backgrounds all running foreground tasks at once.
Better slash commands – Autocomplete works anywhere in input, not just at the start. New <code>/plan</code> shortcut to jump into plan mode.
Performance boost – Faster startup, better terminal rendering (especially with emoji and Unicode), and improved reliability for piped input.
Security fix – OAuth tokens and API keys no longer leak in debug logs.
Other nice touches:
<ul>
<li>Language setting for Claude’s responses</li>
<li>Real-time thinking block display in transcript mode</li>
<li>Subagents now continue after permission denial instead of failing</li>
<li>Interrupted messages are now grey instead of alarming red</li>
</ul>
Go and update now
